Scale replica of the Hasegawa 00984 TBM-3S2 Avenger in 1/72

This Hasegawa 1/72 TBM-3S2 Avenger captures the look of the J.M.S.D.F. patrol variant with crisp panel lines and well-defined components. The kit delivers a faithful small-scale representation suitable for display cabinets or aircraft collections that highlight maritime types.

Operational background and modelling draw

The TBM-3S2 served in maritime patrol roles and anti-submarine work after the war, showing its adaptability to evolving naval needs. Modellers will appreciate the opportunity to build a historically interesting platform with distinct configurations used by coastal defence units.

Construction notes and presentation
